Arrow MLX08-SR-26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Arrow MLX08 half dummy lever have a latch or moving parts?
No latch, no working mechanism. The MLX08 is dummy function: rigid trim for one side of the door only, used as a pull or to match the active trim on the other leaf. The lever does not turn and there is no latchbolt or strike involved. If you need the door to actually latch shut, you want a passage function lockset instead.
2) I need a matching set for a pair of doors, one active and one inactive. What do I order?
One MLX08 half dummy for the inactive leaf, and the working MLX function you need (passage, entry, storeroom, whatever the opening calls for) for the active leaf. Both share the same Sierra lever, the same 2-1/8 inch bore and 2-3/4 inch backset, so the two leaves look identical and prep the same. Order both in the same finish code.
3) Do I need to specify a hand when ordering a dummy lever like the Arrow MLX08?
No. The Arrow MLX08 is non-handed, so one part number covers either side of the opening. That differs from the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy, which is ordered as a specific left hand or right hand item, and from the Emtek Arts and Crafts and Cortina dummy levers, which are supplied as pairs rather than a single half dummy.
4) What is a Grade 2 dummy lever equivalent to the Arrow MLX08?
The BEST 7KC Series single dummy trim cylindrical lever lock is the closest straight equivalent. Both are Grade 2 non-keyed dummy function cylindrical levers, and the 7KC is rated medium duty. The Arrow MLX08 is a half dummy, meaning rigid trim for one side of the door only, used as a pull or to match active trim.
5) I need the lever to actually retract a latch - what do I order instead of the Arrow MLX08?
The MLX08 is dummy function with no latch, so it will not operate a door. For a latching non-keyed lever at the same Grade 2 level, look at the Accentra 5301LN Augusta or 4601LN passage function levers, the Falcon B101 Grade 2 medium duty passage lever, or the Hager 2510 Grade 2 passage lever.
6) The door needs to lock - which lever do I use in place of the Arrow MLX08?
The MLX08 is non-keyed dummy trim and cannot lock anything. For a keyed Grade 2 lever on a 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch door, the Cal-Royal AG05 storeroom lockset with deadlocking latchbolt fits that thickness range, the Hager 2580 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever, and the Falcon B511CP6D is a Grade 2 medium duty entry/office lever.
7) Will the Arrow MLX08 work on a 2 inch thick door?
The Arrow MLX08 covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. For thicker stock, the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lever covers 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch, the Corbin Russwin CL3110 passage lever covers 1-3/4 to 2 inch, and the Hager 2510 Grade 2 passage lever covers 1-3/8 to 2 inch.
8) Is a passage lever the same thing as the Arrow MLX08 half dummy?
No. Passage levers such as the Accentra 4601LN, Bravura Atlanta, Design Hardware J75, and Kwikset 200BRNL Breton all have an operating latch. The Arrow MLX08 is rigid trim for one side of the door only with no latch and no keying, so it will not hold a door closed.
9) Do I need to bore the door for an Arrow MLX08 dummy lever, or does it surface mount?
MLX Series trim is built around a standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore through the door with a 2-3/4 inch backset, so it sits in the same prep as the rest of the MLX line. That is the practical reason to use it on an inactive leaf that is already bored, or on a pair where you want the dummy side to line up visually with a bored lockset opposite.
10) How far does the Arrow MLX lever stick out from the door face?
Total projection is 2-17/32 inches (64.5mm) from the door face. The lever itself is 4-3/4 inches long pressure cast zinc, on a wrought brass rose 3-11/32 inches in diameter. Worth checking against wall clearance and against any adjacent door or frame return before you commit on a tight jamb.
11) Is a Grade 2 dummy lever good enough for a commercial building?
For a dummy application, yes. The MLX08 is a Grade 2 commercial lockset, and since a dummy trim carries no latch and no cycle load, grade matters far less here than it does on an active opening. If your spec forces Grade 1 across the facility, the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim is a Grade 1 heavy duty equivalent, and the Accentra 455LN Augusta is another Grade 1 single dummy.
12) Does the Arrow MLX08 come keyed or take a cylinder?
It does not. The MLX08 is non-keyed, with no cylinder and no key function. The product name references the key-in-lever cylinder styling of the MLX platform, but this particular model is dead trim only. For a keyed MLX opening you need one of the keyed functions in the series.
13) What is a cheaper or simpler alternative to the Arrow MLX08 dummy lever for a residential-grade opening?
If the door is not a commercial opening, the Callan Bentley is a Grade 2 dummy lever, and Emtek offers dummy levers in the Arts & Crafts, Hammered, and Cortina styles as pairs rather than single trim. Note the Emtek items are dummy pairs, so they cover both faces of the door, while the MLX08 is trim for one side only.
14) Can I use the Arrow MLX08 on a closet or utility door instead of a passage lever?
Only if the door does not need to stay shut on its own. A half dummy gives you a pull, nothing more, so the door needs a magnetic catch, roller catch, or ball catch to hold it closed. If you want a real latch, go with a passage function lever such as the Falcon B101 Grade 2 or the Hager 2510 Grade 2 passage lock.
15) What is a lighter duty dummy lever alternative to the Arrow MLX08 for residential-style interiors?
The Callan Bentley is a Grade 2 dummy lever, and for decorative interior work the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy and the Emtek Hammered lever dummy pair are dummy function options. The Arrow MLX08 is specified for commercial use at Grade 2.
16) For a fire-rated opening, is the Arrow MLX08 the right choice or should I look elsewhere?
For openings where a fire rating is called out on the drawing, the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lever and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 Grade 1 passage lever both carry a fire rating in their specifications. The Arrow MLX08 is Grade 2 dummy trim with no latch, used as a pull or to match active trim.
17) I want keyless entry on this door instead of dummy trim - what replaces the Arrow MLX08?
Mechanical and electronic keypad levers serve that need. The Lockey 2835 pushbutton keyless lever lock is passage function and ADA compliant with a 1-3/16 to 2 inch door thickness range, the Lockey 1150 heavy duty keypad lever set covers 1-1/8 to 2 inch, and the Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock. The Arrow MLX08 is non-keyed dummy trim.
18) What do I use on the bathroom door if the Arrow MLX08 is going on the closet?
Privacy function is the match for a bathroom or bedroom. The Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 cylindrical privacy lock with the Withnell lever, the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton is a Grade 3 privacy lever for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Baldwin Estate 5103 is offered in privacy function. The Arrow MLX08 is dummy function.
19) What finishes can I get the Arrow MLX08 Sierra lever in?
Four: 605 bright brass, 626 satin chrome, 613 satin bronze oil-rubbed, and BSP black suede. If you are matching a dummy leaf to active hardware elsewhere in the building, pick the same number the working locksets carry so the pair reads as one set.
